Yesterday I took T to the Viking Show, a homeschooling event organised by parents and put together by an Viking Era historical re-enactment group. The children were split into groups and circulated around to four different stations where they listened to talks on clothing, culture, myths about Vikings, and weaponry. Following, they demonstrated a duel and a melee. Fantastic!

*(Apparently "Saint" Olaf was a cruel king who forced the Norwegians to convert to Christianity and killed anyone who wouldn't. That is why there is no more pagan culture in Norway. You see?. Oh those cruel Christians!)
